Agree, it’s irrelevant how bad we were in the first half, atmosphere should be electric for this game. Ok in patches but nothing like the other ones I’ve been to. First one for my lads who were expecting it to be up a level from the excellent West Brom play off. They left as disappointed with the atmosphere as the result. Also worth saying though that thought the blue few were also quieter than expected. Yes it was Sunday lunchtime, yes we’ve changed the stadium layout, yes the performance was rubbish, but still no excuses.

Not sure if this is anything new as this seems to have been the case for a while. Though guess if the Leo move goes through he must be favourite to be off? Also sounds like Bree is almost done.

Have the skates not done any business at all? Interesting to see if Leicester do come in for Murphy today.

🤷‍♂️

Nice.

Another take on the situation. 🤷‍♂️

Shame, still think Edozie would be useful in this league.

Got excited with all the activity on here we’d signed Spurtstain, only to find we’re linked with another player I’ve never heard of. Bit underwhelming, but hopefully something about him if Still wants him. Though is he any better than Edozie? And on that, do we know why he’s off, does he want to go or is he not part of the plans? Personally I think he’d have done well, I know everyone moans about his final ball but he could beat a player and thought he’d fit into the system. But then what do I know.

Good point. Seems like both teams and managers were settling for a draw 2nd half. Important to get points on the board while we’re in flux before the window shuts.

Not responding to your comment, just wanted to say, Interpol - what a band.

Ha, it’s my 21st today. Queue Bon Jovi. Congrats.

True. Was more intimating he may struggle with the physicality of the Championship. Though they do make them tough in Russia I suppose.

Quick search (never heard of him) and was supposedly linked with Arsenal a couple of weeks back. Hope he weighs more than the 66kg stated though as might not enjoy a cold Tuesday in Stoke.

This. 8 years a Saint. Good luck to him.

Do find it odd that again we’re not playing Suga or Bree at RB. Not really a glowing endorsement for either.

Think they’ve nailed the kits this year, expect the only problem will be for my lads to decide which one they want. Though I guess all 3 are an option via DHGate. Anyone know if the hooky ones are true to size?

Wish him all the best, great player, great pro, will really miss him.

Jeez I’m getting old. Just checked the team for the game in 2009. Graeme Murty! I don’t even remember him signing for us, let alone playing in that game - and I was there!

Not saying it’s not a good opportunity for him, but like CB said, he wasn’t happy at Chelsea so a trip abroad may be too soon for him. He may have matured a bit since then, but let’s hope he wants to stay with us for another season.
